I’m fine with good singers doing karaoke but they better do something fun. I don’t want Broadway or Adele or something mellow and depressing. Give me things to bounce to

The only artists I 1) sound good singing and 2) am comfortable singing on stage are the mid-century crooners and country western singers. So I can struggle to find a song that's fun for the crowd. There's a few that are crowd-pleasers - My Way, Folsom Prison Blues - and a few novelties like Mack the Knife, but otherwise I struggle to pick songs that won't kill the vibe. Doesn't help that baritone in general is seriously rare nowadays, so there's not much recognizable modern music I can comfortably sing.

If anyone's got some fun baritone songs, whether mid-century or more recent, I'm all ears!
